Summary

This quote suggests that one cannot be both famous and successful in certain illicit activities. It compares being a famous poisoner with being a successful poisoner, implying that achieving fame in such a sinister act would hinder the perpetrator's success. This can be extended to Great Train Robbers, indicating that those who engage in high-profile criminal activities like train robbery cannot truly achieve lasting success if they seek fame and attention for their deeds. Ultimately, the quote underscores the idea that notoriety and genuine success in illegal endeavors are mutually exclusive.
